This invention relates to baling presses. One object of my present invention is to `provide a balingpress of great capacity which is so constructed that it is not necessary to 'place divisional blocks or boards between the bales during the operation of forming them. y y

Another object is to provide a baling press which is so constructed that a single operator can place and fasten the tie Wires which extend around the bales.

Another object is to provide a p baling press having means foriuching down the `materlalat the rear' end of a bale so as to form a square corner, and thereafter a'rranging the tie Wires transversely across the end of the bale.l nd still another object `is to provide "a baling press having means for supporting the-tie Wires 'transversely of the path of the com` presser or plunger which compresses the material, and means for moi/'ing said tie wires into position so that they will lie between the abutting ends of two bales.

, @their objects and desirable features of my invention will be hereinafter pointed out.

Briefly described, my improved baler consists of abahng chamber m which -a plunger or compressor operates to compress the material, a tying chamber into which the compressed material is forced from the baling lchamber, means for holding the tie Wires transversely of the baling chamber out of the path of .movement of`the plunger or compressor, and meansfor moving sald tie lwires into the baling chamber so that `they ltvill be arranged between the abutting ends of two bales. The machineis also provided with an automatically operated device that tucks down the material at the rea-1' end of a bale so as to form a square corner. Means is also provided for moving charges of material from a la-t-form or support 'into the hopperof the Ibaling chamber, and a beater of novel construction is provided for forcing said charges down into the baling chamber into the path of the compressor.

Referring to the drawings Which illustrate the preferred form of my invention, A designates the designates a compressor or plunger that operates in said balin chamber to compress or compact the material and force it into ay tying chamber B which is located adjacent 'the rear end of the balin-g chamber, said tying. chamber being formed by a pair of members that are channel-shaped in cross section andarranged -with their legs projecting toward each other.; The side walls of the baling chamber are provided with 'extensions 2 that extend between the channelshaped members which form the tying chamber, and said extensions are spaced avvay from the .legs or flanges of said members to forni horizontally disposed slots 3 that communicate with vertically dispo 'ed slots 4 in the side Walls of the baling chamber, as shown clearly in Figs. l and 2. The top and bot-tom lWalls of thel baling chamber are provided with transversely' extending slots that communicate with the slots in the side walls of said chamber and upper and lower Wire-holders or casings 5 and 5il are arranged transversely of the baling chamber so as to cover the transversely extending slots in the top and bottom Walls thereof. The tic wires or .cords that extendaround the bale are arranged in said Wire-holders, and means, hereinafter described, is provided for moving the Wires out of said' holders into the baling chamber. The Wire-holders are open at both ends and are of approximately channel shape baling chamber of the press, and 1 in cross section, the holder heilig arranged so as to move the arms and 10a at each side of the baling chamber away from each' will also be returned to their normal pos1- 'otherg and said shafts are rocked in the oppoeiaeao 'cured to one end of the shaft 11i, asshown in with its legs projecting downwardly and the igs, 1 and 2, the-"movements of the arms holder 5a with its projecting'upwardly. being limited by suitable-stops. The legs or side walls ot said wire-holders Each ot' the arms land 1Ga is provided are preferably contracted slightly, asshown with an approximately t -shaped aw 17, as 70 in lfig. 2, so4 as vto guidezthe wire into the shown in Fig.'` ily-for engaging the Wire baling chamber, and while l have herein Vwhich said arm positions, and a clamping shown wire-holders of approximately chandevice coperates vwith said jaw to 4prevent nel shape in cross section, I do not Wish it to the wire from slipping ont or" same while it 10 `be understood that .my broad idea is limited is being moved into the baling chamber. ln 'f5 ,to such a construction for these wire-holders the construction herein shown said clamping could be constructed in numerous ways withdevices consist ot pairs of levers 18 and 18a o 1it` departing from `the spirit of my invenarranged at the opposite sides ot the baling tion. Thewvireyholders 5 and 5a are carried chamber and projecting into slots 19 in the by members t3 andti, respectively, which are jaws 17 ot thearms lOtand 10L as shown' so connected to the top and bottom walls of the clearly in F ig. 2. Said levers 18 and 18nu baling chamber, said members also carrying are pivotally connected intermediate their the channel-shaped members that form the ends to the side walls ot' thebaling chamber, tying chamber B. and the front ends of each pair of levers' The members 6 and 6a at one side ot the are connected together by a spring 20, The e5 baling chamber are provided with supports levers 18 at each side ot the press normally 7 on which wire reels S and 8a are mounted, extend across the vertically disposed slots and rollers 7a are arranged adjacent said in the upper edge oir' the side Walls of the reels for guiding the wires, the vwire 9 that baling chamber at a point below the upper leads from the reel 8 forming the upper wire wire-holder 5, and the levers 182L at each side` 90 of the bale, and the wi' 1e that leads from of the press extend across the slots et in the the reel 8EL forming the lower wire ot the lower edge ot said side Walls at a point. bale. These wires are drawn through the above the lower wireiholder 5', the upper wire-holders 5 and 5a so that they extend and. lower tie-wires being arranged between 3GV .transversely of the baling chamber, and at said levers `and the jaws of the arms 10 and 95 the proper time in the cycle of operations of 10c1 which c operate with said levers, the machine said Wires are forced out ot said When the arms 10 and 1()21 are moved holders into .the baling chamber by means of' toward each other, the jaws 'on said arms wire placers which l will now describe. will first engage the wires and move them The Wire placers which engage the upper out of the Wire-holders into engagement 100 tie Wire 9 and move it downwardly out of with the levers 18 and 18a so thatthe'wires the wire-holder into the baling chamber, conwill be clamped securely between said jaws -sist of a pair of arms 10 arranged adjacent and levers. The movement of the arms 10. the opposite sides ot the baling chamber and and 10l toward each other rocks the levers being connected to el horizontally disposedv 18 and lla'on their nlcrums so that the 135 'roclt shaft 11 which is jonrnaled in the memwires are clamped securely while they are. bers 6 that carry the upper wire-holder A being moved into the baling chamber. At' similar pair ot' arms 101 are arranged adjaabout the time the wires have reached the cent the opposite sides of the balinO chamber inner ends ot the horizontally disposed slots for forcing the lower wire 92L from its holder 3 in the side walls ot' the baling chamber7 110- up into the baling chamber, said arms 10a the levers 18 and 182L pass out of engagement being. connected to a rock shaft 11a which is with the wires so as to release said wires and journaled in the members 6 that carry the permit them to move with the material that lower Wire-holder.

vic

Vwhen the lower Wire 9? is moved upwardly '1t engages the door vand swings 1t upwardly, the 'door dropping back to its closed position vafter the lower Wire has passed into'the baling chamber,

Having described the construction oit the Wire-placingmechanism', l will now describe the operationof same. The operator draws the ends of the upper and lower VWires through the Wire-holders so that the ends off-said4 Wires will project some distance laterally from the ends of said holders, the operator standing at the side ontm the machine -Whi h is Dshown in elevation in Fig. 1. vQVh'en sulicient material has been forced' vinto thetying chamber B to form practically a solid .Wall or abutment with which the. plunger QcOperates to compress the niaterial, the operator oeresses the lever 16 .andthus rocks thegshalts t1 and 11 simultaneously so that.'the arms ltland 10@L will move toward each other. The jaws on said arms engage the upper' and lower Wires and move them 4out of the yv-ire-l'iolders, the kin- Ward movement of said arms bringing the Wires into engagement with the levers 1S and 18a lso that the Wires are clamped securely in the jaws 17 of the arms 10 and 10ft When the Wires come into alinement with the horizontally disposed slots .3 the levers 18 and 1Sa ,move automatically away rfrom their coperatingaws so as to release the `Wires' and permit themf` to move with the material into the tying chamber. As the material is forced through the. tying' chamthe ,Wires Will be drawn automatically from the reels and thus be arranged longitudinally-0n one side ot' the bale, as shown in dotted lines in F 2, and in :tull lines iu Fig. 6. Before the bale has been completed the operatbr reaches through vthe wire-hold ers and enga-ges the. upper and lower Wires and draws them through. said hold-- .ers so as to form loops X in said wires, as shown in' Fig. 6. .He then servers these` loops and When enough material has been 'forced into the tying chamber to form a bale he operates the lever 16 so as to force the two strands of Wire which extend through each of the Wirefholdersinto the baliug chamber, as shown in Fig. 2-, one portion o't' each loop extendingacross the rear end ot the bale that hasv just been completed and the other portion ,of each loop extending' across the front end of the nextbale that is to he formed. The operator then connects the i'rf i ends of the upper and lower Wires tother at. y, as shown in Fig'. l. 'While the le vthat has just been formed is traveling rough :the tying ch amber, these operations repeated for each bale that is formed.

r in the bale vprovit'ilcd with a Any suitable kind of an implement can be used to pull thewires through the Wireholders to form loops in the Wires7 said implements being. operated either manually oi' by some suitable mechanical n'ieans,y not shown. lllhile l have hereiuneferred to wires as being used for holding the material together, it Will7 of course, be understood that cords could be used instead of the Wires.`

I preferlto provide vthe baling press With va tuclrcr that tucks the material down into the balingchamber so as toproduce a bale having square and smooth corners. This tucker consists of a blade 2st mounted on a pair etui-,tus that are pivotally connected to brackets on the upper side of the tying chamber, said blade being forced 'downwardly through a slot in the top Wall of the baling chamber, as shown in Fig. 1, so as to tuck down any material that theplunger 1 has failed to compact. Thatis to say, when the plunger moves into the baling chambe1' to compress the materialT some of. the material is apt to project through the opening in the 'top' Wall ot the balingI chamber into 'which theu'laterizd is fed and thus not be compressed. The result is that the upper edge oit the rear end of `the bale will be ragged. .My tut-,king device overcomes this objectionable lcaturctor the blade 2l moves down over the upper odge orf cach charge of material that is compressed and thus folds down any projecting portions of material sothat a square and smooth corner is produced. The upper tie Wire is moved down into position as soon as the tucking blade is elevateffl so that the material that has been tucked down will be confined by said Wire. The inciting; blade also prev xnts the material that has been compressed from following the lplm'ng'er when it is Withdrawn .trom the balinp; chamber.

Baling presses that have heretofore been in general use placed a board having slots in it, down through the feed opening' into the halii'ig chamber. rthis necessitated stopping the feeding oil 'material and letting the ph'mgcr make enough strokes to clear up the 'feed opening to give the board free passage. Consequently, trom one to three feeds or charges ot material was lost in forming each bale. lilo division boards arc used in my improved baler; vit is therefore not necessary to give each bale an extra blow, and as every movement oit' the plunger 1. lcon'ipresses a charge ot material the capacit-y ot the baler is much greater than those which have here'- totore heen 'in use.

The means for operating` the tucking blade to torce it downwardly consists of a spring 2T connected to au arm QS on a rock shaft 29 rms 30 that are connected by nic-ans ot links 31 to the arms 25 -Whichcarry the sucking blade. Said bladeis elevated by means of a link 32 connected at one end to the arm 28 and at its other end to rock arm 33 which forms part of the means for moving the material to be compressed, from a platform into the hopper oi the baling cliainbei,-tlie iinl g provided with an elongated slot Las through which a pin 33a on the link 33 extends.

The material to be baled vis deposited on a platform 84 either'by pitching it manually onto saine, or by some suit-able feeding apparatus7 andthe material is then drawn or moved from said platform into the hopper of the baling chamber by means of a feeding device consisting of a pronged member connected to a rock shaft which is jonrnaled in a bearing on the end of a long pit man or rod 3'?. The rod 37 passes through a bearing 38 that is pivotally connected to the upper end of the rock arm 33 to which the tncker blade actuating link is connected,

and a link 39 is connected to said rock arm 83 and to the upper end of an arm 40 on the rock shaft 36 for actuating said rock shaft. The pitman or rod 37 is connected to an arm 4l on a rotatable shaft 42 provided with a. large gear` Wheel 4S that meshes with a pinion 44 on the drive shaft 45 of the press so that a reciprocating movement will beimparted to the pitrnan 37 and thus cause the pronged member to engage the material lying on the platform or support 34 and move it into the hopper of' the baling chamber. The material that is drawn into said hopper is forced down into the path orx movement of the plunger l by means of a beater v46 Which is rigidly connected to' a rock lever 4i that is oscillated by means ot a link D which is connected to said rock lever and to an arm 48 on the shaft 42, as shown clearly in Fig. l, the plunger or compressor l being connected to the lower end of said rock lever 4'( by means of a link 49. l prefer to form the link l) in such a manner that the rock lever 47 can give or yield slightly in case the beater 46 comes into Contact with an obstruction that is too solid vfor it to pass through, and to this end l have formed the link l) of two sections 50 and 5l provided with shoulders between Which a compression spring 52 is interposed. The section 5l is provided with an adjustable stop 53 that is engaged by a shoulder on the section 50 When the rock lever 47 is being moved in the direction for forcing the plunger l into the baling chamber so that at suchtimes the link D is practically rigid. When the rock lever 4? is being moved. in the opposite direction the movement'orp the section 5G of link D will be transmitted to the section 5l through :the spring 52 so that the lever 47 and beater 46 can yield in case the beater comes in contact With a solid obstruction.

The pronged member 35 automatically moves al charge of material from the plateiaeao form 34 into the hopper of the baliiig chamber and said charge is then forced down into the baling chamber by means of the beater 46.v The compressor or plunger then moves into the baling chamber to coinpressthe charge, and as the plunger moves out of the baling chamber the tncking blade 24 descends to Wipe down the upper edge of the charge that has just been compressed. The spring 2? moves the tucking blade downwardly, as previously described, and said blade is returned to its elevated position when the pronged member 35 is moving the charge ci' material into the hopper-of the baling chamber. The operator arranges the upper and lower Wires in the Wire-holders, as previously described, and at the proper time de` presses the lever 16 so that said Wires will be positioned properly across the ends of the bale, the press being. provided `With some suitable kind of a signaling device 55 for notifying the operator when to'depress the' lever 1G.

As previously stated, a baling press ot the construction above described has a greater capacity than the balers heretofore inuse because every movement of the plunger l compresses a charge of material; it overcomes y the necessity of using division boards or blocks between the bales so that vfewer operatives are required to run the pressu lt produces a bale having square and smooth corners, and requires only one operator to fasten the tie Wires for the operator has suiiicient time to arrange the Wires in the Wireholders and also fasten the ends of said Wires together, as the bale is traveling through the tying chamber.
